Do you think you can reproduce the problem on demand? If you can, we can hopefully put together some tests to see what's happening. Running xrestop might be interesting in case there is some sort of video memory leak. You can install xrestop using the package manager. You can then either run it interactively while running say tuxpaint or pipe it to a file, running something like: xrestop -b | grep -A 15 Tux >outputfile.txt which should filter out the programs with Tux in their name. If you see the "total bytes" field growing noticeably, that might be a cause of problems. In my brief trials though, there's very little X server memory used by tuxpaint and tuxmath. If you could detail the hardware (video card, video ram, cpu, ram) of one or two affected thin clients that might well be useful, particularly if it happens more on one client than another.
